To be fair it was a joy to use when it was working. Ony had to replace the box once in my ownership. Second time I fucked it off and bought a nice reliable xm v6 😁 Which turned out to be nice and reliable 🤔 wuvvum, DSdriver and somewhatfoolish 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

OM646 62 Posted Sunday at 02:03 AM Share Posted Sunday at 02:03 AM Today i found out that the Chinesium brand Roewe, in its history page, tells a short resume of the history of Rover, and doesn't hide the fact that they were born out of what remained of Rover. Not so much of a grin, but more of a smile, because in the middle of this, SAIC still has some respect for Rover Link to post Share on other sites

Some how I'm still here. Not sure where the GSA is now. It was a lovely thing, Cmatic gearbox was ace, but fuel consumption not so good. Here she is at Le Mans. Jacky is still living with me.... just. Megan the GSD died of very old age about 5 years ago I guess there was no Tan Hill this year ? Christ I'm old.... It was indeed cancelled this year. That doesn't happen often! I've done Tan Hill many times - last time, the 2CV took off and landed very heavily just before the end.

Dippy 1747 Posted Wednesday at 06:52 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:52 AM Replaced exhaust downpipe on the940 yesterday and expected a fight with rusty seized bolts but it went perfectly, like a write up in a Haynes manual where it sounds a doddle until real life circumstances kick in. I was even expecting the Lamba sensor to be seized in so bought a new one which wasnt needed as the old one came out easily. As it all went so well and quick I even had time to do a couple of little jobs on the Princess. myglaren, Tickman, LightBulbFun and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites
